Life is bleak. The sun gives me no warmth, meat turns to dust in my mouth, and a fry-up breakfast (with OJ) holds no appeal for me any longer.

And all it took was a late-night phone call.

Once upon a time, a phone call from my dad at that hour would have meant that he was missing me. Once upon a time, it would be to say goodnight to me. But now...now it's just to say things like, "I'm still not too keen on you working in a pub."

Now he calls to crush my dreams to pieces (or to remind me to buy more dog food in the morning).

Because of that one sentence, I'll never know the joy of mixing flash drinks at the bar. I'll never be able to control a pool table for a whole night. I'll never be able to remark offhandedly, yet undoubtedly impressively, that yes, I actually do work in a pub.

Was it the bar peanuts? Did my dad not like the Kilkenny he was served? Were the bar stools too tall? Why why why?!

Though Morbid it may seem; this too will pass!!
Before anything else I am really sorry you didn't get the ok james. I know how you really wanted this and I would like nothing better than see you happy BUT sometimes things turn out the way the do for good reasons that make all the sense in the world. Other times the reasons seem vague. But whatever they have decided the fourth commandment should be observed. Look at it this way in just over 3 1/2 months you will have to make your own decisions. And soon it will be you who will be calling them.

Some insight...
I think your dad's not too keen on you working in a pub for one simple fact. Your a girl. Guys go to bars and hit on the waitresses, talking about how big their tits are. Obviously your dad does or once did this and he doesn't like the idea of drunken idiots hitting on his precious daughter like that. Make sense?

Why not tell him it's only temporary, like 8 years or something. Then tell him that you will be a good girl. Hell, you can even ask him to pick you up after work.

Bar girl
Doubt any father would be amused at the fact that his daughter's in a bar working. It's terribly sexist, I know, but girls working in bars definitely get more flak than the guys - especially from overprotective dads. Paul
